Today is Pushya Nakshatra, October 24. This day is very special from the point of view of shopping and worship before Diwali. It is said that investing in gold on this day provides eternal benefits.
In such a situation, if you are thinking of investing in gold, this could be the right time. Today, on the occasion of Pushya Nakshatra, we are telling you about 4 ways to invest in gold…
1. Physical gold: can buy gold coin cookies Investing in physical gold means buying jewelry or gold cookie biscuits. Experts do not consider buying jewelry as the right way to invest in gold as one has to pay GST and taxes on gold. That’s why you have to pay more money upfront. When you make jewelry, you don’t invest in 24-karat gold because gold jewelry is not made with 24-karat purity. However, you can invest in biscuits or gold coins.
2. Gold Bond: Fixed interest of 2.50% is also available. Sovereign Gold Bond is a government bond issued by the government from time to time. Its value is not in rupees or dollars, but in weight of gold. If the bond is 1 gram of gold, the price of the bond will be the same as the price of 1 gram of gold. Sovereign Gold Bond offers a fixed interest of 2.50% each year on the issue price.
It’s easy to buy: To buy gold bonds, you need to open a demat account with a broker. In this, you can buy units of gold bonds available on NSE and the equivalent amount will be deducted from the bank account linked to your demat account. Investing can also be done offline.
3. Gold ETF: Stocks Can buy and sell on stock exchanges The ability to buy stocks similar to gold is called Gold ETF. These are exchange-traded funds, which can be bought and sold on stock exchanges. Since the benchmark of a gold ETF is the spot price of gold, you can buy it at a price close to the actual price of gold.
Demat account required for investment: To buy gold ETFs, you need to open a demat account. In this, you will be able to purchase shares of Gold ETF available on NSE or BSE and the equivalent amount will be deducted from the bank account linked to your Demat account.

Gold has returned 55% over the past 5 years Investing in gold is beneficial in the long term. If we talk about the last 5 years, gold has given a return of 55% or 11% per year. In October 2020, gold was at Rs 50,605 per 10 grams, which has now reached Rs 78,446.
Keep These 4 Things in Mind When Buying Gold 1. Buy only certified gold: Always buy certified gold bearing the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mark. There is a 6 digit hallmark code on the gold. This is called the Hallmark Unique Identification Number, i.e. HUID. This number is alphanumeric, that is, something like this – AZ4524. Thanks to hallmarking, it is possible to know the number of carats of gold.
2. Check the price: Check the correct weight of gold and its price on the day of purchase from several sources (like the India Bullion and Jewelers Association website). The price of gold varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat.
24-karat gold is considered the purest gold, but it is not used for jewelry because it is very soft. Typically, gold of 22 karats or less is used for jewelry.
Suppose the price of 24 carat gold is Rs 78,000 per 10 grams. This means that the price of 1 gram of gold was Rs 7,800. In such a situation, the price of 1 gram of gold of 1 carat purity was Rs 7,800/24 i.e. Rs 325 .
Now suppose your jewelry is made of pure 18 carat gold, then its price is 18×325 or Rs 5,850 per gram. Now, the exact price of gold can be calculated by multiplying the number of grams of your jewelry by Rs 5,850.
3. Don’t pay in cash, take the bill: While purchasing gold, it is better to make payment through UPI and digital banking rather than cash payment. If you wish, you can also make payment by debit or credit card. After that, don’t forget to take the bill. If you order online, definitely check the packaging.
4. Know the resale policy: Many people view gold as an investment. In such a situation, it is important that you have complete information about the resale value of gold. Also discuss with store employees the specific jeweler’s buyback policy.
